What do you think?

People tell me quite often that my boys look SO much alike. And I can tell they are brothers. They have the same color eyes and similar hair color and skin tones. But to me the look quite different. Reed has large round eyes and his face shape and body shape are so different than Will's.

So, I thought for fun I would put a picture of each of them for comparison. Here is Reed at about 10.5 months and below is a picture of Will at the same age.

Okay they do have a few differences (I think Will looks more like you in the eyes for sure,) but they DO look like they could be the same person at different ages!

At different ages they can look more or less alike. I guess it's just a mama's perspective, like how someone can tell their identical twins apart when others can't. Thanks for your opinion!

I've always thought your boys looked quite different from each other. They have different shaped eyes and make different expresions. I can tell they're brothers, yes, but I think Will looks like his dad maybe and Reed looks more like your side of the family? I don't know, but I definately see them as different.

People often ask if my girls are twins! I can't believe this because they're 2 years apart and obviously different sizes, duh. I know they look like sisters but I actually don't think they look all that identical. In some baby pictures I can see how you might get confused but to me they each have their own unique "look."

Kit I can't believe they ask if your girls are twins! They look so different to me! Of course they are both adorable and do have similar coloring but their features are quite different and then there is the obvious size difference! I am sure I will be asked at some point if my boys are twins. Reed is catching up to Will's size!

I think it looks like the same baby! He's just smiling in the second one... :)

Well maybe it's the difference in size, but I definitely see differences between them. That being said, they're equally as cute and pinch-able. Sydney will have a hard time deciding which should be her boyfriend. :)

Sarah-- one person, after asking if my girls were twins and then realizing they obviously couldn't be (probably because I looked at him funny), joked that he meant "I thought maybe you fed that taller twin more." Haha! um, ok? :p
